How ToScan a Document or Picture in
Windows 7
Scanning Your Document
• In this example we’re using an HP PSC 1500 All-In-One printer connected to a Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit system. Different scanners will vary, however the process is essentially the same.
• The scanning process has changed a bit since the XP days. To scan a document in Windows 7, place the document or picture in the scanner, click on Start, and go to Devices and Printers.

When the Devices and Printers window opens, find your scanning device and double-click on it to get the manufacturers Printer Actions menu.

This should bypass the manufacturer screen and go directly into the New Scan window, where you can start the scan process. From the Context Menu you can also choose Scan Properties.
This will allow you to test the scanner if you’re having problems with it and change some of its settings.

Or you can choose Scan Profiles which allows you to use pre-selected settings, create your own, or set one as the default.
Although scanning documents and photos isn’t a common occurrence as it was a few years ago, Windows 7 still includes the feature. When you need to scan a document or photo in Windows 7, this should get you started.
